The story we worked out:
Without a sound in the darkness the High King of Rowia was slain...the mighty people of Loreos who had been utilizing the Areani legions for protection lay blamed for the tragedy and assassination. Although these accusations remained false, the mighty High Consul (Arturius Xavier) of the Morastian Republic (long time allies of Loreos) called together his generals, Pro-Consuls and people in a bid to not only fight for the republic and the alliance they uphold but to win lost lands that rightfully belonged to them. Seeing that he had the numbers and a just cause, the Consul still felt that it would be best to seek advice and council from some of his oldest friends across the sea who were foreign to this conflict and would offer fair advice, maybe even more troops to suppor the war effort.
Thus the Consul sent out ships with envoys to meet with his old time friends...one such ship...the warship "The Defiant" sailed into the Harbour of Mpya Stedor in Kaliphlin a mere half of a fort night later during the darkness of the night with the messenger aboard who was to seek council from the old Lord of the City. Little to the knowledge of the messenger that times had changed since the Consul had been in the City last...his friend had been replaced by the much younger and handsomer Lord Damaximus the heir to the region. Hearing and reading the words from the messenger who remained garbed in a cloak shielding both their face and armour...Lord Damaximus agreed to sail forth from the port and meet with his father's friend on the isle of Ilia in the Morastian Republic. The offer of course was a peaceful one that would benefit both powers. Once arrived, Lord Damaximus pointed out Sir Nomar Helmier as commander of the troops as he would have to go back to Kaliphlin soon
edit:
Sir Nomar Helmier was born in Morastia as a son of a noble family. In the years he was abroad, his family lost their properties and wealth and their rights to be official citizens of Loreos. What really happened to them is uncertain. Sir Helmier heard this after he arrived at Loreos and understood very quickly that he would never be seen as an official citizen of Loreos. He saw no other option than to choose the life of an Outlaw.
Luckily he still had the rights to build in Morastia and keep his alliance with Consul Arturius Xavier.
